CoW Protocol MEV-Capturing AMM
CoW Protocol introduced its MEV-Capturing AMM, designed to protect liquidity providers from losses due to exploitations by arbitrageurs. According to CoW Protocol, most liquidity pools suffer losses. LVR is the largest source of MEV, even bigger than frontrunning and sandwich attacks combined. LP lose upwards of 7% on their liquidity. The new AMM, dubbed the CoW AMM, uses batch auctions to auction the right to rebalance the pool at the correct market price, with the amount paid by the winning solver being distributed to the pool's liquidity providers. It ensures that the total value of a pool’s reserves remains balanced. The new AMM model is optimal for pools that trade between non-stable token pairs.

The service equips rollups with a suite of features, including dedicated testnets, a block explorer, scalable RPCs, a dashboard for metrics, and tools for tracing transactions. Launching a rollup on mainnet involves initial deployment costs of approximately 3 ETH and a basic monthly service charge starting at $3,000. Rollups also receive a portion of the sequencer fees from their chain.
